Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from A. M. Appraisals

Working with an agent to list your house? Then they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes selected sales houses in your town. It's a customary starting point when determining your home's listing price. If you're going to minimize your house's time on the market and maximize your profit, this is a crucial step.

But even if you're working with an expert agent , it's definitely in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before you sign the Listing Agreement.

And that's where A. M. Appraisals comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

A. M. Appraisals can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will bring in buyers, and we can also:

• Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you have an interested buyer
• Impress buyers with written proof of your house's quality inside and out
• Make you aware of problems and eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
• Reduce chances of unexpected obstacles that can cause sales to deteriorate
• Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten.

While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.
